Has the issue with the battery being drained when the switch is on and the candle is turned off with the remote? Is this still a problem?

I haven't tried again. I figured it would do it again. so I haven't enjoyed them except the first week I got them.

The batteries do drain quickly. I never tried switching them off completely. However I did use them every Saturday and Sunday in the summer and changed them maybe in August or September

I have been using mine since for over 4 months and the batteries are still working. I would characterize my usage as minimal to very minimal. I do not use it as my main remote.

had mine for several years with no problem - check wires and for good power supply (the transformer that runs it). operate the switch off/on/etc. a couple of times

I wish the bulb would burn out on my unit! The damn thing is so bright that it used to wake me up at night. Now I put black tape over the switch and that seems to work pretty well. Someone said that it shouldn't be left on all the time. I have had it on for about 3 months without a problem - in fact it would be inconvenient to keep turning it off as it controls the Sony DVD player bought in China in my bedroom, and I would have to get out of bed to turn it off. Now, if it had a remote controlled power switch...

I have never heard this problem before. Batteries? Possibly a defect? My mobile turns off automatically. Try taking the batteries out of the remote control

Bob: I haven't used the remote only because my wife sets the auto timers on these candles. One of the sites that sells remotes states the following:* One remote to be used with Remote Ready Luminara Candles only* 15 feet away* On / Off* Powered by one replaceable CR2032 batteryHopes this helps you!

The switch on bottom of candle could be incorrect. Batteris dead in remote.

You have the option of choosing the "candle" which gives you a flicker like a candle. The "light" is just that, it doesn't flicker it's just on. Does that make sense?

I have not experienced any issues with battery life. WE use the lights in the kitchen under tha cabinets. We use the occasionally (like once a day and not for more than 30 minutes). The batterys have lasted more than a month and I have not noticed any reduction in ighting output. I leave my batteries in the remote all the time.

I have put the bulb away 'til next Christmas, but my memory is that it does not remember. It starts in a default mode every time it is turned on even if power is not removed. Others says it will remember so my memory is probably faulty. Maybe it only starts on default when you use the remote, but remembers with the wall switch. I did not experiment with the light switch dimmer. I would count on using the remote to dim.

The controller does not goes of to sleep unless you switch it off.The remote is always up and using the battery. But it still has been running for me for over 3 months.

Started using mine on the timer right after Christmas; it's just now acting like the battery's getting low, so it lasted not quite 3 months. Amazing candle - I love it!

Not really. If you turn off the main switch, then turn it back on, the light won't come back on without having to turn the remote switch back on also. Kinda a pain. Works great other than that.

I have not had any issues with the remote so far. But it also stays in a nightstand drawer when not in use. It is a dainty thing.

I had my light on 24/7 and the bulb lasted a year. I kept it on by "tricking" it with a remote control plug in (turning it off and on quickly). I could never remember to turn it off and on at a regular basis, so I just kept it on all the time. For some reason the remote overrode the motion detection, either that or the motion detection simply didn't work.

Yes I had the same issue - It's been a while but I believe I found that the "sticker" cover on the remote is upside down. once I pulled it off and turned it the remote worked fine. Now it's horrible on battery life but that's a separate issue. My daughter didn't like it anyway so I have one that was used like twice and now sits in her closet.

I received mine today (2/7/14), plugged it in and it worked fine. Turned the dimmer switch off and it never turned back on again. So... apparently it is still an issue.
